For a Friend

I see you. You're smiling. Sandy is with you. She's smiling, too. You feel so good you're dancing, dancing like you never danced before. You feel free, the way you did before you learned to wonder what others think.

Your pockets are full of cash, and there's plenty more where that came from. Money comes easily to you now. Money is like a pretty woman who finds you irresistible. Like Sandy.

I see you throw your head back and laugh out loud.

Your mistakes are in the past, and the past doesn't exist. There's only now. And now your heart is full of love and forgiveness. For yourself. For everyone you've ever known.

I see it. I see you. You know it's true.
